Apple Cranberry Cobbler

Buttermilk Recipe #4: this looks to be the last buttermilk recipe in this series, although I'm quite sold on buttermilk as an ingredient in baking.  I've tried replacing it for regular milk in a few other recipes and have been quite pleased with the results.  But enough rambling, on to the cobbler!  : )

Ingredients:

• 6 apples, choppedchocccc    ch , ch,,,apple

Directions:

1. Toss chopped apples and cranberries with brown sugar and tapioca starch.  Put in an 8" square baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine flours, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.  Cut in butter to make a crumbly mixture.

5. Serve as is or with whipped cream or ice cream...anyway you eat it, it's delicious!  : )
